FIGHT BAC! PUPPET CHARACTER
(Print version available in PDF)
Making Your Puppet
The puppet is your "partner" in the presentation (but he's certainly not a "good guy"). He's easy to make with the enclosed BAC Character® and either a sock or a lunch-sized paper bag.
You'll need:
- BAC Character®
- 1 sock (preferably a green one) or 1 lunch-sized paper bag
- Glue or tape
- Velcro® dots
Steps:
1. Cut out the full-color BAC Character® and the symbol.
2. If using a sock:
- Using Velcro®, secure the BAC Character® to the sock.
If using a lunch bag:
- Place your hand inside the lunch bag. Mark where your thumb and pinky finger are.
- Cut holes in the bag for your thumb and pinky to fit through (they will move BAC's "arms").
- Glue the BAC Character® to the bag, placed so that his arms will be in front of your thumb and pinky.
3. Affix Velcro® dots to the front of the sock or the bag and to the symbol. At the end of the presentation, as BAC gets chased away, you can stick the symbol on his chest—or have one of the children do it.
